Just for Today

We had a nice ski trip! Mama got a sprain so you can be be praying for her. She is doing fine, but is sore. She has not been skiing in years and is still getting better at it. She is looking forward to the next ski trip though!! I hope you enjoy the pics. I am tired and don't want to do a big post!

Oops! Did someone fall down the heater vent??

No, I was drying my leggings!

This is where we cross over the little creek...

Nathanael was thirsty. We like drinking this water. It is SO cold and refreshing!

Here is Nathanael coming down one of the smaller-ish hills...

Overlooking the river...

The water level has gone up since the last time we were here...

Nathanael going down a little hill slope...

I think this picture is so beautiful! The bend you can see up river a ways is called horseshoe bend...

This is me and our cat Shiitake. He is so cute and is our largest cat (since my tom cat Rusty ran away) . He likes to give hugs (literally) when you pick him up, and he tries to act like a human. Really, he does! When I was taking this picture, he was trying to hold the camera like I was! Yesterday evening, when Mama drove to go somewhere in the truck, he had jumped in there (without her knowing:) and they latter showed his face when it was too late to turn around! If you say to him "Hi Shiitake!" He meows in a way that sounds like he is answering you back! He has many nicknames too. I normally call him "Ticky-tocks", "Taco Bell" "Taco" or "Tockie".

This is all the things my brothers imagine him:

My brother's make him say that he loves to eat at Taco Bell, He was good friends with our dog (which he called Doug). He likes to go to Chicago and eat at the restaurants there. They also say that he has an ipod with his favorite music on it. The latest thing they made Shiitake say was that when he drove away with Mama in the truck he was trying to get to Chicago to go visit Doug (because he does not know what happened to our dog :).

My brothers have a fun imagination at making animals talk. It is fun to listen to them (and yes, more than once I have joined in!)

Well, I guess this post turned out longer than I thought it would! Have a good night!
